went with a gel battery. going to stay with stock generator, want to use the starter and get rid of kick start lever. so far the lighting has worked out good, with ever light on only drawing 1/2 an amp. looks like can use volt reg from 80s sled ( kimpex part ) easy to get. was able to backdoor Yamaha parts catalog from US dealer, got all the part# need for engine. can get everything out the UK, hope to have running by june sometime.

lol, kind'a noticed that. have a guy looking for forks that can use, if that fails. will try the heavier oil. thanks..

have old dt125,19" front wheel. want to make it straight street bike only. although the tubes are longer ( I think ), is the cylinder is same? and could I just change the dampening to street type, say from an rs125?

actually found two you posted some time ago. should work well enough, and one of the guys i work with. just went over to India on holidays. gave him a list of parts, should ask him about manual too.

thats the plan lol, the volt reg alone weights a pound. problem is so fue of these bikes in canada, and dont have any wiring diagrams. right now use one from old kawasaki. thats why joined this, hope someone had wiring diagram. cant even buy clutch disc's here for it. these bikes just dont exist here anymore, got feeler's out for front end part end too. but springs long way off, and worse case reg is still good. just not use starter, go with 12v lithium batt run lights and coil.

have this old dt, trying to turn it in to a gp sort of. crash diet ! electrical is becoming a problem. didn't realize it was a starter/generator type. was thinking of using a lithem battery, still going full LED even head light. but this old school reg has got me scratching my head. now with this starter generator, should i go with a 32v battery. to get the amps need for starter. or should i just pull it off and go with cdi and regular mag setup and kick start. would be cheeper and less weight. is this posible?
